My bf and her hubby are smokers and are also tight on cash.
I'm just curious roughly how much smoking costs per week.

I'm about 3/4 packs a week @ $6 - anywhere from $18 - $24 a week. That's almost $100 a month.
Not cool. |

How much is a "case"? I think they each buy a case a week.

I usually smoke about 2-3 packs a week, Walgreens sells really cheap cigs so I can get 3 packs for under $10. |

I smoke about a pack and a half a week and packs here with the new NYS tax cost between $6.50-7.50. I end up paying about $15 a week. I smoke Camel Crush's
or Parliment Menthol Lights.

A case around here runs 45.00-60.00. It just depends on what brand you smoke.

Don't you get taxed more on cigarettes in Canada?

I spoke about a pack every two days, so at $3.82 a pack (Marlboro Smooth's), it's about $12/week

Yes a carton hehe. That's why I wrote "case" in paranthesis because I couldn't remember the proper name.

Well, I didn't know if they were buying a case with several cartons in them or what. Just wanted to make sure.

Well they're tight on case and they go through a carton of smokes a week roughly (each) and a case of beer or more a week. IMO waste of money esp. if
you're tight but I can understand that smoking is an addiction as food is mine lol.
